QQC Twelve

Quote:

Remember people’s names so that they feel appreciated and for your own future benefit when you want something from that person.


Question:

Are there any written statistics proving the correlation between remembering people’s names and living a “successful” life?


Comment:

I found this rule really ironic because my dad and I have been talking about this very thing a lot recently. My dad and I have actually been testing each other regularly to see how many names of people we meet we can remember. We started doing this because he realized that he has a hard time remembering people’s names, which causes a problem when he is trying to get new clients or just talk to people in general. One of the main examples of this is that he and I go to the same restaurant to eat every week, but to this day he still has difficulty remembering some of the server’s names. That is why this rule intrigued me, and also why I was wondering if there were any proven statistics about remembering names and success in business, (how many names can Donald Trump remember?)
